44 KNOTS:SSW

44 KNOTS:SSW is part of a larger body of work made while undertaking an Artist Residency at the Pickers Hut in Tasmania, 2019. The work aims to create a visual documentation of the recorded wind speeds over each day of the residency.

Using elements of the site, I became a collaborator with Place, using the wind and rain of the Huon Valley on the paper as the ink was drying, to capture not only the movement but the feeling of Tasmania's ever present wind and wild skies. The illustrative components of the work are expressive of recurring patterns found within the landscape. My objective is not to depict but rather to evoke.
